About this talk

Economic performance in 2023 has exceeded expectations, but gathering storm clouds on the horizon point to a more challenging 2024. The economic environment is unlikely to be supportive in the near term. Sovereigns are expected to face additional fiscal challenges as they prioritize increased defense spending, boost climate related investment, and address the needs of aging populations. Meanwhile, geopolitical conflicts loom large, putting energy, food, and supply chain security at risk. Come find out why, in spite of all the doom and gloom, DBRS Morningstar sovereign rating upgrades have matched the number of downgrades in 2023.
